But of course, prisoner's dilemma, they're both wolves, so if one of them forgets to wear his sheepskin suit and the other doesn't, the one who lies is the one who gets in.
At least google is being up front and honest about it.
Some companies *cough*facebook*cough* will happily lure you in with promises of a good experience, only to take your data hostage by springing a revised TOS on you later that you can't opt out of.
Once the bastards get into office they're untouchable until the next election and until then they're free to earn themselves a cushy private sector job by ass-raping us.
Is it any wonder that our congress critters are screwing us in the ass every chance we get?
They have nothing to fear from us.
First off, we can't even touch them until the next election.
Second, even if we do vote them out, they have plenty of time to build up a cushy private sector job as a *reward* for stepping on our rights.
Third, because of one and two, the next guy that runs against them has no incentive to be any better.
Federal recall elections will solve this issue of corruption...which is unfortunately why the notion will never see the light of day. One may as well ask a rapist to cut his own dick off.
We the people are powerless to do a god damned thing by ourselves, and it's high time everyone who preaches all high and mighty about getting involved in politics instead of bitching about stuff they can't change realizes just how invincible our politicians really are, at least against us piddly voters.
Run for office? Corporate media will skin you alive if you try to derail their precious gravy train. Vote the fuckers out? Can't do that till election time, and by then it's too late. Plus the next guy won't be any better because he knows he can just do the same routine as the guy you're voting out.
We need to go after their corporate backers too. Boycott any company that does more harm than good, and be vocal about your reasons. Support the companies that are the least evil. Make companies compete for your business on the basis of good karma. Don't do business with a company that has a better one competing with it. If a company is evil and has no competition, try to avoid doing business with it.

Because we can't boot them out of office until next election which means they have a shitload of time to farm out a nice cushy private sector job from the same congress trough fillers that are "lobbying" them to pass this shit in the first place.
Once someone's in office, they're scot free and the only ones who can get rid of them are their brothers who are feeding from the same corporate troughs they are.
We *can't* throw them out until next election, which is exactly why they rightly have nothing to fear from us.
Once they're in office all they have to do is screw us hard enough to get a cushy private sector job lined up for them for when we eventually get a chance to boot them, assuming that by then we still remember and whoever their opponent is isn't worse.
No federal recall means that politicians in congress do not answer to the voters at all.
Without federal recall voters are just cattle to be milked.
Except going into someone's house doesn't require you to pay an arm and a leg for a plane ticket that you can't get a refund on if you don't like being strip searched.
If I invited you into my house, charged admission, then bitched about your shoes and made you either take them off or leave, you'd be pissed at me too, and for a good reason.
Learn to bend over and submit to our government overlords and kiss their ass and obey their every whim, more like it.
If cops can suppress politically inconvenient behavior just by projecting an authoritarian aura, we're not too far removed from the Gestapo and Shutzstaffel.
Cops should keep the peace and apprehend valid criminals, nothing more.

I'd rather they tell the truth.

Google is being honest here, and I respect that enough to keep them as a company I'm happy to do business with.
At least they're not pulling a facebook and changing the rules later after they already have your data held hostage.
Actually considering Mega Upload, the copyright juggernaut will happily blame anyone and everyone they can get away with.
As far as they are concerned, anyone not dumping money into their pockets is at fault just for being alive.
I'm all for fools being parted from their money, but not for the bad guys getting to keep it.
Especially when said bad guys are brainwashing people into being more fools.
Ironically the people most in need of emmigration are the very same ones that have to bend over and let the TSA ass rape them to get a plane ticket.
Sure, go ahead and blame the victim when the system is at fault.
Elections NEVER were a check on things.
Once the bastards get into office they're untouchable until the next election and until then they're free to earn themselves a cushy private sector job by ass-raping us.
Quite right.
Get enough people bottlenecked at a checkpoint and you just give the terrorists an easier target.

It could well be their getting put on a spit and roasted over an anti-trust spit.
Right on.
Waiting until the next election lets them screw us over then get the private sector to line them up a nice cushily rewarding job.
Talk about an epic fail.
I think he sabotaged the trial on purpose just to make hotmail look bad.

The TSA gets its power by holding the passenger's boarding privileges hostage after the ticket is already bought and paid for.
Most fares are non refundable.
Sounds like tragedy of the commons where looking out for yourself hurts everyone else.
Telling them to piss off and not call you may well help you immensely even if it hurts others.
Unfortunately he didn't have any beans.
If you're naked I'm sure that eating beans and cabbage qualifies you as a chemical weapon.
The trick then is to get acquitted so that double jeopardy will protect you.

I thought all you had to do to get listed as a sex offender was to operate a whistleblower organization and embarrass the world's governments.
It's more like you'll be listed as a sex offender if the cops and da fucking feel like it.
